About Balule
Balule Nature Reserve is part of the Greater Kruger's open system, no fences stand between its bush and the national park, so the Big Five wander freely along the Olifants River. Its lodges are small and personal, with night drives and walking safaris led by armed trackers. Balule offers the full Kruger wildlife experience with a private-reserve feel and gentler price tag, an easy pairing with the Panorama Route next door.
